Can Azure BLOB storage be used to save document attachments in IFS ? One of our customers has reported that database is growing rapidly due to the volume of documents they attached to records. Customer would like to consider other options and BLOB storage is preferred for the purpose. Does IFS support BLOB for the function?
Right now we don’t have the Azure BLOB storage support for Document Files. However RnD has considered this as a candidate development for a incoming release. Meanwhile, to over come the growing database concern, customer could opt for the other repository options which is already there in the document management.
In another note, the media files (another attachment) does have an archiving support to Azure.

Those other options are FTP and shared folders (on the application server itself or on a network share).
Correct, FTP and Shared document repositories are currently not supported there.
Thanks for confirming this
